Too close for comfort today!

While we were in VA overnight, so I could have a 40-minute drive to the CPA instead of a two - hour one, the kids called Mike and told him the B&amp;E crew has hit in sight of us now. Small doublewide house right across the highway from our place was robbed. The folks went to town, came home to find guns and television gone.

Very unsettlng...they had been three miles at closest before today. The kids already have their alarm system...our installation is set for tomorrow morning. We locked all the guns and cash in the safe last week. They could get the two televisions, not much more.

The next two days are supposed to bring ice and snow, so maybe that will slow them down a bit. In the meantime, have any of your sheriffs or police departments ever used social media like Facebook to get out descriptions to citizens?
